David de Gea
Billy Sharp's shove could not legislate for De Gea's feeble goalkeeping as United conceded from yet another corner. Abysmal clearance for the second. 4
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Much better going forward and one of United's more reliable attackers all night down the right. 6
Axel Tuanzebe
Started well but got caught under the ball for Kean Bryan's header and booked before his awry positioning allowed Sheffield United to regain the lead. 4
Harry Maguire
Did not properly keep check on Sharp or David McGoldrick. Unfortunate to be penalised for another aerial duel and then scored with a superb header. 6
Alex Telles
A major downgrade on Luke Shaw from open play at left-back but trumped him in claiming an assist from a corner. 5
Nemanja Matic
Struggled to justify his starting status after Sheffield United went ahead. Not as quick with the ball as the fleet-footed Fred. 5
Paul Pogba
Had plenty of the ball without affecting the play often enough and did not grab the game by the lapels. 5
Mason Greenwood
United's brightest forward in a blunt first-half. Missed an excellent chance on his right foot early in the second. Unlucky to be substituted. 6
Bruno Fernandes
Played too high and deprived United of a conduit between the midfield and attack in the first-half. Created a chance for Mason Greenwood. 5
Marcus Rashford
Had little joy on the left and moved to the right, where he also got little change out of the Sheffield United defenders. 5
Anthony Martial
Needed treatment early on and United needed to change Martial for Cavani there and then. Completely cowed but not substituted. 3
Subs
Edinson Cavani
Should have come on sooner. Alert. 5
Luke Shaw
Tried. 5
Donny van de Beek
Barely had an impact. 5
Manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Rested too many regulars, took an eternity to make the first change and even longer to react to going 2-1 down. No change in formation at all. 3
